You made the right decision by buying a new board. But take into consideration that a new board would mean a completely different CPU socket, DDR-2 RAM and PCI-Express video adapter. Meaning that even if your old processor and RAM are good, you won't be able to use them with your new board. So all together its like building a complete system from scratch. I had the same problem when one of my mobo died on me, but I managed to find a board that supported my old DDR RAM and AGP video card. However, I still had to buy a new CPU even though my old AMD Duron was still kicking.
